How to Sterilize Disposable Drape Sontara®:

1. Choose Your Autoclave Type
   • Gravity Displacement: Set for 30 minutes at 250°F (121°C).
   • Pre-Vacuum (Dynamic-Air-Removal): Set for 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C), plus 20–30 minutes dry time.
2. Prep the Load
   • Do not overload. This will result in ineffective sterilization.
   • Separate packs to allow steam circulation.
   • Keep space between items and chamber walls to prevent uneven heat distribution.
3. Run Cycle
   Follow your sterilizer’s manufacturer guidelines. Avoid excessive heat or time, which may damage drapes. The drapes are ready to use once cooled and dried.
